This was a week of coaching at work....Not just the day to day leading of my team, but real coaching on Leadership which is my passion.
On Tuesday, I gave a two hour presentation on "Equipping Others" to 8 young Store Directors from Central Texas who are working with their Regional Director of Development to gain advanced leadership skills.
They invited me about 6 months ago and I developed a new presentation to give them my perspective.
It was fun for me and the feedback that I got from the Regional Director was "you hit a home run!"
Thursday and Friday were my training to be a trainer in our Corporate Development program for leaders called "Leader as Coach". I began my sessions about 6 months ago and really liked it, so I volunteered to become certified as a"coach of coaches".
The sessions are led by one of our consultants Kelly Freeman and his partner Rick Jernigan. Kelly has been an Executive coach for H-E-B for many years. I started working with him in 2003.
I enjoyed these two days immensely and because we were short of help, I got to coach on my own Friday...the "training wheels" came off early.
I am doing two sessions next week with another group so I can really get my schwerve on.....
Weather is great here this time of year....so I am out of the home office to go look at the outside and catch a couple of football games this afternoon....
